“It’s tricky to make a beautiful woman not look beautiful,” “Les Miserables” makeup artist Lisa Westcott says in a new behind-the-scenes video revealing how she made Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman look like 19th century underclass.

In order to make ethereal Hollywood beauty Anne Hathaway look like a disease ridden prostitiute with rotting teeth, Westcott explains “we had to make her look tragic, a bloody mess.”

“My template for the whores was very, very crude makeup that had been on for a long time — really smeared.”

In one scene, Hathaway has to have a tooth ripped out. Makeup artist Westcott painted over the actress’s tooth to make it appear like a stumpy mess.

“Annie Hathway had the idea to cut her hair for real, which I was amazed at,” said director Tom Hooper. “We tried to talk her out of it.”

As for the hunky Hugh Jackman, Westcott gave the actor a scraggly beard extension, contact lenses and “slips that went over his teeth” to make them appear to be rotting in even the most close up singing scenes.
